Does it look “home-sewn”? Probably. (That seems to be one of the worst possible insults Michael Kors can throw at somebody on Project Runway, so evidently it is to be avoided.) Does it have a few issues? Most definitely. (Bias facing? What? How?) Does my daughter like it? Yes, she does. Am I proud of myself for overcoming my irrational fear of garment sewing? Totally.

Okay, mission accomplished! You might even see a summer version of this one of these days.

OMG Lee! I did the same thing when my daughter was the same age! lol Mine was a "dumbed down" dress – a band with straps, no curved neck. Good for you!!! You did great! Glad to know there are other quilters afraid of garment sewing. ; ) Love your pretty photos!!

Very cute! You did a fantastic job!Clothing scares me. I made a skirt recently for my daughter and it was such a disaster that she hid it under her bed.That is such a darling picture of your cutie twirling too.
